CivCity: Rome Opens Its Gates

2K Games today announced the arrival of CivCity: Rome, a city-building simulation inspired by Sid Meier's Civilization series. The game is now shipping to retailers across North America.

Developed by Firefly Studios with help from Firaxis Games, CivCity: Rome allows gamers to recreate Rome by taking a small village and building it into the historic center of an empire. The game features hundreds of buildings ranging from amphitheatres to workshops and everything in between. Players will have to manage factors which will be familiar to Civilization fans, such as research, city happiness, production, and culture.
